Oh There is no doubt in my mind Paul would have done great !!. Him and his son are both awesome callers, Paul is very educated when it comes to elk (language) and calling them in. That is why i was so excited to hear about him possibly entering !!!. I entered our bugling competition here in Oregon but It is a lot different calling on a stage in front of a bunch of people !!!...I've called a lot of elk in in my past but not too great on stage !!!!---I was a nervous reck , knees were knockin for a little bit, but it was fun , after words I thought heck it wasn't that bad !!! "but I was"
